    Fantastic tour, an amazing introduction to Egypt and great value for the price. Really experienced, knowledgeable and professional guides (thank you Sharif and Talaat). As a solo traveller I was looked after very well and the guys went out of their way to assist with whatever I needed. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. I look forward to coming back!

    When we first got on the boat, I had a little problem which my guide graciously fixed it for us and he arranged that when we get to Luxor, he’s gonna have a plane for us to go to Cairo instead of the train he arranged for us to take a plane for no additional cost and this made me very happy. The name of the guide is Khaled.

    Overall the trip was great. All the tour guides were very knowledgeable and we especially liked Mary who guided us in Aswan to see the Philae temple, and Sayed who guided us in Luxor. Sayed was very helpful, able to adapt to requests and was great company. Thank you Sayed, you were amazing. The sleeper train was an experience. We had low expectations which were pretty accurate on cleanliness and facilities. However the guard (one per carriage) was wonderful. We always felt safe and it was lovely to wake up to views of the Nile. We didn’t eat the food as had eaten beforehand, which I would definitely advise. We took both the extras (balloon ride and trip to AbuSimbel.) This meant we were up every morning around 4.30/5am! Abu Simbel was good but maybe one to miss if you’re tired. The balloon ride in Luxor was absolutely outstanding. I didn’t know what to expect and with a fear of heights I had not thought about it until the morning we went. It was one of the most peaceful and beautiful experiences I have had. The major drawback of the trip was the eternal request for tips; on every mode of transport to the driver, to the guide, to people who insisted on taking your photo in the temples/tombs, and finally to the boat staff who were very angry at the tip we gave them for taking our bags to the taxi. We would have taken our own bags, however they grabbed them before we had a chance. One would have assumed that on a five star (?) boat taking your luggage to and from the quayside would be part of the service. However, we had 5/6 men on the quayside angry with the tip we gave them which was very intimidating. Fortunately, Sayed, our guide, dispelled the situation. We were happy to give him, and our driver, a generous tip but were not happy about being harassed by the sailors. One more thing to note is that you need to pay for all drinks on the boat, including water, coffee at breakfast, which was a surprise. Finally, we were given our bill on the boat before the balloon ride, i.e. at 5am. It was not added up, their card machine was “not working”. When we didn’t have enough cash, the total changed. We settled on the higher amount when we collected our bags at the end of the day, in cash. Not very 5 star!!!!

    The tour was great! We arrived on a Friday evening in Cairo and we did the pyramids on the first day and Luxor on the second day. They made sure we would see everything even though our itinerary was a bit different. It was a great experience overall and Khaled was a fantastic guide. He was very kind and knowledgeable. The Nile Cruise was great. I would recommend this tour!
